Hello,

For those of you to whom I've not yet become acquainted, my name is Naoto Shirogane, and I'm one of the newer shinki who arrived here a little over a week ago. This is my first time posting to the BBS, so please excuse me if the length of this starter entry is perhaps a little longer than what is typical. First, I would like to thank those of you who I did have the pleasure of meeting at the Tanabata festival. You each have my sincerest gratitude for providing me your time and assistance as I attempted to get my bearings on that first day. There was a lot to process all at once, so your patience with me was most appreciated.

Second, I would like to pose a question at large purely as a point of curiosity. I've noticed that I seem to have a lingering sense of hunger that is never quite possible to satiate. I do not wish to cause alarm, as it's not exactly painful to any degree. Really, it's just an odd sort of sensation that I find distracting from time to time. Has anyone else ever felt something similar? If so, what did you do to alleviate it?

Huh. So that's... a shinki thing? Here I thought it was just me...
This is the first time I've even heard someone mention it. Usually I go find something to eat, or at least enough to make it fade. But I do get hungry an awful lot.

Going off of previous comments I've received, it does indeed appear to be a shinki thing.

Finding something to eat can help to lessen its effects when they become too unbearable, but the sense of hunger will apparently always persist to some degree. Honestly, it's a bit of a nuisance...

[thevanguard]

Right? Who has time to stop and eat that many times??

Did anyone else have any other suggestions?

[fortune_detective]

So far, the most common one has been to prepare a meal or snack beforehand, so that you have something to eat with you when you need it. Honestly, considering the circumstances, it's really the best course of action.

[thevanguard]

Yeah, but I'm always hungry. That'd be gone in the first half an hour.

[Naoto nervously chuckles on her side of the screen.]

You could try asking a companion to hold onto some snacks for you then when you go out? That way you won't be tempted to eat it all at once.

[thevanguard]

Yeah, but then they'd eat them instead.

[ He has questionable friends. ]

[fortune_detective]

I see. That is a problem then.

In that case, I guess it would be best to carry extra spending money so you can stop to eat when you need to.
